Here's an example: \starttext \startplacefigure[location=nonumber] \startfloatcombination[2*1] \startplacefigure[title={This is some text spanning two lines. Some text spanning two lines.}] \framed[width=.4\textwidth,height=3cm]{} \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[title={This is some text spanning four lines. Some text spanning four lines. Some text spanning four lines. Some text spanning four lines.}] \framed[width=.4\textwidth,height=3cm]{} \stopplacefigure \stopfloatcombination \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[location=nonumber] \startfloatcombination[width=\textwidth,distance=5cm] \startplacefigure[title={This is some text spanning two lines. Some text spanning two lines.}] \framed[width=.4\textwidth,height=3cm]{} \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[title={This is some text spanning four lines. Some text spanning four lines. Some text spanning four lines. Some text spanning four lines.}] \framed[width=.4\textwidth,height=3cm]{} \stopplacefigure \stopfloatcombination \stopplacefigure \input tufte \stoptext Mojca ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
